Hi all,
I (and I'm sure many of you) subscribe to daily digests from NANOG to keep
things concentrated. However, there are sometimes messages in the digest
I'd like to reply to, and I don't want to be that guy who just replies to
the digest and opens an ugly new thread.
Curious what workflow/process any of you use to do so, and what the
best/netizen-polite way is to end up with a reply that's appropriately
threaded. Do I just need to mirror the subject line?
1. I locate the relevant message I want to reply
2. Delete everything before/after or with some mail client (like
Thunderbird) , I can just select the message and hit the 'reply' button.
It will include only the selected text
2. Copy exactly the subject line of the relevant message I want to reply
and if it doesn't yet contain a 'Re:' in front, I insert it.
And that is exactly what I'm doing with this reply.
I believe it's not so disruptive at least when I look at the archives
[1], it's not opening a new thread.

Of course, like you I usually don't reply to messages so it's not so
tedious.
